Garibaldi

From Xenharmonic Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Garibaldi is a 7-limit (and higher) temperament of the schismatic family. It is an extension of helmholtz temperament beyond the 5-limit but with the same simple chain-of-fifths structure (so that standard notation may be used). As in helmholtz temperament, 5/4 is mapped to the diminished fourth (e.g. C–F♭), and the new mapping specific to garibaldi is that 7/4 is mapped to the doubly-diminished octave (e.g. C–C𝄫). This makes garibaldi a marvel temperament.

Immediate 11-limit extensions include cassandra (41 & 53), mapping 11/8 to +23 fifths, andromeda (29 & 41), mapping 11/8 to −18 fifths, and helenus (53 & 65d), mapping 11/8 to −30 fifths. Garibaldi is most naturally a 2.3.5.7.19 subgroup temperament due to its immediate availability of 19/16 at the minor third (C–E♭). This is sometimes known as garibaldi nestoria.

Garibaldi was named in honor of Eduardo Sábat-Garibaldi, who developed the dinarra, a 53-tone microtonal guitar in the 1/9-schisma tuning.

Notation

Using garibaldi can be a challenge because it defies the tradition of tertian harmony in chain-of-fifths notation. The just major triad on C is C–Fb–G, for example. One may want to adopt an additional module of accidentals such as arrows to represent the comma step, allowing them to write the chord above as C–vE–G.

Cassandra nomenclature for
selected intervals
Ratio Nominal Example
3/2 Perfect fifth C–G
5/4 Downmajor third C–vE
7/4 Downminor seventh C–vBb
11/8 Double-up fourth C–^^F
13/8 Double-up minor sixth C–^^Ab
19/16 Minor third C–Eb
Andromeda nomenclature for selected intervals
Ratio Nominal Example
11/8 Down-diminished fifth
Double-down augmented fourth
C–vGb
C–vvF#
13/8 Double downmajor sixth C–vvA
Helenus nomenclature for selected intervals
Ratio Nominal Example
11/8 Double-down diminished fifth
Triple-down augmented fourth
C–vvGb
C–v3F#
13/8 Triple-down major sixth C–v3A

Chords and harmony

Traditional tertian harmony is effective. The default triads on the Pythagorean spine are undevicesimal in quality:

  • 1–19/15–3/2 (C–E–G)
  • 1–19/16–3/2 (C–Eb–G)

Note that the major third also represents 24/19, and the minor third, 13/11. These chords are typically associated with a sort of coldness and metalness, like those in 12edo if not more so.

If a warm, sweet, laid-back sound is desired, the thirds can be inflected inwards by a comma to yield

  • 1–5/4–3/2 (C–vE–G)
  • 1–6/5–3/2 (C–^Eb–G)

Contrarily, for a more sour and active sound, they can be inflected outwards by a comma to yield

  • 1–9/7–3/2 (C–^E-G)
  • 1–7/6–3/2 (C–vEb-G)
